This is fairly offputting to me, and I'm curious, does it really serve some useful purpose? I generally associate those icons with websites I wish to not return to, and it seems a shame that it is featured on TechReport, hopefully temporarily.
I second the request for smaller font, at least on the desktop version. This large font is rough to scroll through.

Honestly though, I don't know what exactly subs mean right now. They are on my list in the first post as something I'm trying to get clarification on.

Thanks - that doesn't show any information about my current subscription, the payment method, or allow me to change it.

The new site looks OK but all the white space with a lack of boxes/borders/whatever looks a bit jarring to my eyes. Maybe that's something one gets used to.

I know it wasn't intended but this was really the absolute worst timing imaginable, and I fear the only people likely reading the review are the TR diehards.
A new major review on TR, with the quality we've become accustomed to should be a highlight moment.
